The subject of the “Dear Ivanka” protest movement is an avid social media user, and shots of the apartment she shares with husband, Jared Kushner, have recently emerged on Instagram and elsewhere. These images reveal a home filled with contemporary art: she counts Cy Twombly, Wade Guyton, and Joe Bradley among her favorite artists, and she told Artsy that her rules for collecting are that “we don’t buy art that we don’t love and we only buy something if we BOTH love it and want to live with it.”

Louis EisnerAccording to Bloomberg, Trump bought a piece by Louis Eisner, of the Still House Group, from Bill Powers in 2013. Eisner’s exhibition “Leviathan” inaugurated the uptown location for Power’s Half Gallery in New York, and it featured, among other works, a large-scale hanging mobile with cartoon drawings from pop culture.

Alex IsraelLos Angeles artist Alex Israel is none-too-pleased that Trump hangs one of his gradient-based works above her dining room table. “Please get my work off of your walls,” he implored the soon-to-be First Daughter on Instagram. “I am embarrassed to be seen with you.”

David OstrowskiAlso featured on the Trump Instagram is what appears to be one of David Ostrowski’s “Relax/Outline Paintings,” which the artist showed in 2013 at Berlin’s Peres Projects—it seems that the year might have seen a bit of a Trump/Kushner art buying spree.
